$a This is a collection of sets of plates designed by Berain. The first plate is a title-plate, but it is not clear whether this refers only to a set of which it forms part or is a title-plate for the whole collection. The groups of plates are as follows: 1. Five sheets carrying [7] pl. [showing decorations, candelabra and a dance], unnumbered and unlettered, no. [1] having Thuret's imprint and the title, 'Ornemens Inventez par J Berain'. 2. [5] pl. [showing panel decorations] lettered 'G', nos. [2, 5] having Thuret's imprint. 3. [5] pl. [showing chimney-pieces] lettered 'I', [1] having Thuret's imprint and the title, 'Desseins de Cheminées'. 4. [5] pl. [showing chimney-pieces], unnumbered and unlettered, with no publisher's imprint. 5. [5] pl. [showing chimney-pieces] lettered 'H', [1] having Thuret's imprint. 6. [5] pl.

[showing parterres] numbered 1-5, [1] having Thuret's imprint. 11. Five sheets carrying [7] pl. [showing panel decorations and candelabra], nos. [6,7] lettered 'L'. 12. [5] pl.

[showing clocks, vases, ceremonial weaponry and candlesticks] numbered 1-5, [1] having Thuret's imprint. 15. Five pl.

[5] pl. [showing panel decorations] lettered 'D', [1] having Thuret's imprint. 22. [2] pl., unnumbered and unlettered, the first captioned 'Dessein De La Colation Qui Fut Donné A Monseigneur Par Mos. Le Prince ... Chantilly le 29 Aoust 1688', the second with five numbered captions, the first reading 'Arcade de la Feuillé où le Roy estoit a table'. 23. One plate [showing the interior of a milliner's shop], unnumbered, unlettered, uncaptioned. 24. One sheet carrying [2] pl., unnumbered and unlettered, the first carrying captions A-F, of which 'A' reads 'Le Grand Vizir', and having the imprint of la Veuve de Liany; the second uncaptioned. 25. One sheet carrying [2] pl. [one showing persons with dogs, the other a ceremonial dance], unnumbered, unlettered, uncaptioned. 26. Three plates [showing funeral ceremonies] unnumbered and unlettered, with captions referring to the funeral ceremoniesof Louis Boucherat on 11 December 1699. The collection shows the range of Berain's work, which had wide influence during the latter part of Louis XIV's reign. He worked in a less grand style than that of Le Pautre; and his complex, light surface designs owe something to Raphael's interpretation of ancient Roman wall-decoration. |
